Abstract
Lateral and depth profiles of the ion-implanted region were first observed using cleaved cross-sectional scanning electron microscope. The amorphous region induced by ion bombardment appears dark relative to the crystalline region. It is found that the secondary electrons, as well as the backscattered ones, are influenced by the so-called channeling effect.
